Tor console exit issue: running tor -hash-password does not work

I am following the blog post here .

I am using a Windows machine so I cannot follow the exact steps. This is what I did:

  • Installed Tor Browser for Windows

  • Installed pytorctl

    pip install git+https://github.com/aaronsw/pytorctl

  • Privoxy installed

  • Trying to use Tor command line. I assume it is an exe file in the "Tor Browser \ Browser \ TorBrowser \ Tor" directory

    tor --hash-password *mypassword*

Unfortunately, this command is executed, but there is no response.

If anyone has any suggestions, a lot will be appreciated. Do you think this might be a firewall issue?

This appears to be a known bug where when you run tor.exe from the command line, it starts but opens in a hidden window. To get around this, run the following: tor --hash-password *your_password* | more

. Hope this works. Read more about the problem here .
